SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Inventory of State Compliance
on Serious Injury Reporting Using the
Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria
4th Edition
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
SUMMARY:
Background
The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Office of Safety’s mission is to
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
exercise leadership throughout the
highway community to make the
Nation’s roadways safer by developing,
evaluating, and deploying life-saving
countermeasures; advancing the use of
scientific methods and data-driven
decisions, fostering a safety culture, and
promoting an integrated,
multidisciplinary 4 E’s (Engineering,
Education, Enforcement, Education)
approach to safety. The mission is
carried out through the Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP), a data
driven strategic approach to improving
highway safety on all public roads that
focuses on performance. The goal of the
program is to achieve a significant
reduction in traffic fatalities and serious
injuries on all public roads, including
non-State-owned public roads and roads
on tribal lands.
In keeping with that mission, the
United States Congress on June 29, 2012
passed the Moving Ahead for Progress
in the 21st Century Act (MAP–21),
which was signed into law (Pub. L. 112–
141) on July 6, 2012 by President
Barrack Obama and continued in the
Fixing America’s Surface Transportation
Act (FAST Act). MAP–21 is a milestone
for the U.S. economy and the Nation’s
surface transportation program as it
transformed the policy and
programmatic framework for
investments to guide the system’s
growth and development and created a
streamlined performance-based surface
transportation program. The FHWA
defines Transportation Performance
Management (TPM) as a strategic
approach that uses system information
to make investment and policy
decisions to achieve national
performance goals.
MAP–21 required the Secretary of
Transportation to establish performance
measures for States to use to assess
serious injuries and fatalities per vehicle
mile traveled; and the number of serious
injuries and fatalities, for the purposes
of carrying out the HSIP under 23 U.S.C.
148. The HSIP is applicable to all public
roads and therefore requires crash
reporting by law enforcement agencies
that have jurisdiction over them.
In defining performance measures for
serious injuries, FHWA requires
national reporting by States using a
uniform definition for national reporting
in this performance area, as required by
MAP–21. An established standard for
defining serious injuries as a result of
motor vehicle related crashes has been
developed in the 4th edition of the
Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria
(MMUCC). MMUCC represents a
voluntary and collaborative effort to
generate uniform crash data that are
accurate, reliable and credible for data-

08FEN1
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 27 / Thursday, February 8, 2018 / Notices
driven highway safety decisions within
a State, between States, and at the
national level. The MMUCC defines a
serious injury resulting from traffic
crashes as ‘‘Suspected Serious Injury
(A)’’ whose attributes are: Any injury,
other than fatal, which results in one or
more of the following: Severe laceration
resulting in exposure of underlying
tissues, muscle, organs, or resulting in
significant loss of blood; broken or
distorted extremity (arm or leg); crush
injuries; suspected skull, chest, or
abdominal injury other than bruises or
minor lacerations; significant burns
(second and third degree burns over 10
percent or more of the body);
unconsciousness when taken from the
crash scene; or paralysis.
As part of the national requirement to
report serious injuries using the
MMUCC 4th Edition definition, the
FHWA seeks to determine if States have
adopted the MMUCC 4th edition
definition, attribute and coding
convention by the required April 15,
2019 date. Specifically, States will be
considered compliant with the serious
injury definition requirement if it:
Maintains a statewide crash database
capable of accurately aggregating the
MMUCC 4th Edition injury status
attribute for ‘‘Suspected Serious Injury
(A); Ensures the State crash database,
data dictionary and crash report user
manual employs the verbatim
terminology and definitions for the
MMUCC 4th Edition injury status
attribute Suspected Serious Injury (A);
Ensures the police crash form employs
the verbatim MMUCC 4th Edition injury
status attribute for Suspected Serious
Injury (A); Ensures that the seven
serious injury types specified in the
Suspected Serious Injury (A) attribute
are not included in any of the other
attributes listed in the States’ injury
status data elements are MMUCC
compliant.
The purpose of the information
collection is to assess each States’
ability to report serious injuries using
the new Federal definition. This
assessment will require consultation
with the State database owner, State law
enforcement agency and possibly
county and municipal law enforcement
agencies that don’t use the State form.
Respondents: State, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, tribal and local
traffic records management agencies and
law enforcement. (75 total).
Frequency: One time collection.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: It will take approximately 30
minutes per participant.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 37 hours for a
one-time collection.
